Common Resources

If you are having a common problem, such as needing a driver for your wireless card or looking for where to file a bug, chances are you can find the information you need here first. Below is a list of links that are commonly referenced in #fedora.

Livna RPM repository - An additional repository for Fedora that includes many 3rd party applications and solutions.

Fedora Solved - This site contains well-maintained, community written guides to common problems. If you are looking for a guide to show you how to get your wireless card to work or how to get mp3s to play, this is a great place to look.

Fedora Unity - This site contains re-spins of the Fedora install media that come bundled with all available updates up to the date of the re-spin. This can save you a lot of time otherwise spent on downloading hundreds of MB worth of updates after an install.
